A fierce snowstorm has struck Canada, bringing life to a standstill as heavy snowfall and strong winds continue to batter major cities
The storm has already dumped 36 centimetres of snow, severely impacting daily life. Canadian authorities warn that it could take up to two weeks to clear the accumulated snow.
Adding to the chaos, a passenger plane crashed due to the extreme weather conditions, while over 200 flights were cancelled at major airports.
Government offices and schools across Ottawa, Toronto, and Montreal remain indefinitely closed as authorities struggle to cope with the aftermath. The storm’s impact has left transportation disrupted, businesses halted, and residents stranded indoors.
Officials are urging people to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel until conditions improve. The storm’s intensity has raised concerns about potential power outages and further disruptions in the coming days.
